The problem was discovered when Gourmet Kitchen, Inc. was notified by its spice supplier that the season salt in a spice mix used to formulate the products may have been contaminated with peanut allergens from the paprika component. Gourmet Kitchen, Inc. then informed FSIS of the issue. FSIS and the company have received no reports of adverse reactions due to consumption of these products. Anyone concerned about an injury or illness should contact a healthcare provider.
